Supported
Amazing Cycling & Tour de France Race Viewing. Ride all the classics - Mont Ventoux, Alpe d'Huez, Col du Galibier, Lautaret, Telegraph, Col de l'Arpettaz as well as many more.
Please note that the following itinerary is an example only. The official race route isn't announced until October 2022. After all the cancelled tours in 2020/21/22 we are very excited about sharing the 2023 TdF with you. We encourage you to book early. At this stage there are zero deposits to be paid and balances are due 60 days prior to departure. ** We may change this when the current Covid-19 situation improves.
Starting and finishing in Lyon means that we don't have the long transfer days which allows for more time on the bikes.
Featuring 3 nights in Provence, 4 nights in the high Alps and 4 night's lake front accommodation on Lake Annecy.
Please note that these dates are provisional and may be changed.
A lot of the rides planned are based on local knowledge. We have three local guides who live in the Alps. Silas Cullen, Patrick Cozza and Adrien Truwant. This itinerary is based on our 2019 trip which was very similar.
RIDE Holidays cycle tours are achievable for anyone who rides a road bike however it would be advisable that you arrive in your very best shape. Following the Silas Cullen training program would be smart. In 2019 we trialled road e-bikes and they worked very well. We are happy to roll those out to those who are familiar with riding normal road bikes but need help on the long ascents.
We look forward to sharing with you the Magnificent French Alps.
